Women's Tennis Advances to CACC Championship Game; Knocks Out Chestnut Hill

WILMINGTON, Del. - The No.1 seed Thomas Jefferson University women's tennis team (13-0) is one step away from holding a conference title as the Rams won their Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Championship Semifinals match over Chestnut Hill College (5-8) in a 4-0 victory in Saturday morning action. 

WHAT HAPPENED 

• Jefferson had the advantage early on with a default point in the third doubles spot. Chestnut Hill evened it out on a 7-5 second spot doubles win and looked to steal one away from the Rams.

• With another default win at the sixth spot, the Rams only needed two points to make the CACC title game for the fourth time in five years. Oderkerk secured the first singles point 6-0, 6-2 while Madina Omarova clinched the match off a 6-2, 6-2 third singles position win
